May 23, 2008 Bottle from the depanneur down the road from the Dieu Du Ciel Brewpub. Thick beige head atop a cloudy auburn color body. Outstanding lacing...like other beers from this brewery. Strong aroma of hops, fresh earthiness, pine, and orange peel (or some under-ripe fruit). Flavor is piney with caramel malts and honey. Soapy long finish. Very nice medium body IPA. Props to Dieu du Ciel for another fine brew.

May 22, 2008 Thanks Dave. The beer pours to a deep amber body with a really creamy off-white bubbly head. The aroma is extremely hoppy with strong grasses and weeds with herbs and a strong cereal grain. The flavor has a bitter grassy hop and earthy Chinook or something like that. Dark amber malts. Bitter grassy palate. It’s dense and moderately bodied.

May 22, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown with big carbonation bubbles and a medium off-white froth on top. Sweet waxy malt, honey, and very fresh grapefruit hop aroma. First taste is honey, grapefruit and a little bit salty. Finishes with quite a bit of dark caramel malt, honey and pine. A very rich bold malt. Trademark Dieu du Ciel spiciness. Medium light bodied, lots of smoother carbonation. [anything garlic pairs well with this]

May 21, 2008 ࿁cl bottle) Small beige head atop clear, dark amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/floral, caramel, some grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit/orange, some caramel, nectarine/mango, light bread. Soft medium body with light acidity. Seems more like a hoppy amber than an IPA, though it’s quite tasty however it’s categorized.

Clear amber color, small beige head, lace. Piney, ryeish fruity hoppy nose. Pale malty, very bready hoppy, bitter flavor. Very IPA-like, malty pale ale. Long bitter aftertaste.

May 20, 2008 11.2oz bottle courtesy of NimbleProp Thanks!!!! This is a definite malt balanced IPA, going for a good flavor rather than eccentric bitterness, its very easy drinking and goes down smooth with some cararmel and light bitterness in the end... leaves almost no aftertaste.... not bad.

May 20, 2008 Bottle. EPA-ish aroma: light crystal malt and perhaps some lime-y hops. The flavor has grapefruit nuances but this is primarily a malty IPA.
